Re: Anychance Cyprien will be available at 71?

No.

Swearinger was getting 1st round attentions as well. He'll be gone.

My hope is for Phillip Thomas as a good FS to pair with Stewart. I heard Rambo talk at the Senior Bowl and he sounded absolutely stupid. I'm sure he plays better and maybe he was just tired, but if he can't describe what he does wth even basic English, I don't want him doing it for my team, just saying.

Re: Anychance Cyprien will be available at 71?

Anything could happen, but Cyprien did solidify himself as a top 5 Safety in the class with his combine and post-season all star games so it's doubtful he lasts. Swearinger and Shamarko Thomas are worthy picks in the third round. Swearinger plays under control for a safety, while Thomas could be the exact opposite at times. Both can make the big hit at the line of scrimmage as well without being too inconsistent in pass coverage. In my opinion I'd rather pass on guys like Rambo and Phillip Thomas, both need plenty of room to grow in the NFL.

Re: Anychance Cyprien will be available at 71?

The bottom line is that, while Cyprien probably won't make it to the Rams' third round pick, there are still many intriguing safeties to choose from: Philip Thomas, Swearinger, Rambo, Wilcox, Shamarko Thomas, Duke Williams, Josh Evans, heck even Tony Jefferson or T.J. McDonald.

I was thinking later 2nd round (50-64), but probably still a no. I think this was planned greatly by Fisher and Snead anyways. I think they strategically planned this two 3rd rounder connundrum, expecting to take a RB (Lattimore?) and a S (Whoever they like most, Shamarko, Phillipp, Swearinger?).

Any chance? None.

If Safety is the pick at #71, then one of the two Thomas' might be doable.

My sentiments exactly. I really see this as best Safety available at 71. And try to see Lattimore at 92. Fisher can do fine with later round OLs anyway. Plus I think Rok will be a starter. Just gotta find dahls replacement. But we have a year for that.
